3. DEFINITION
 Skin and soft tissue infections (SSTIs) are clinical entities of variable
presentation, etiology and severity that involve microbial invasion of the
layers of the skin and underlying soft tissues.
 SSTIs range from mild infections, such as pyoderma, to serious life-
threatening infections, such as necrotizing fasciitis.

4. CAUSES
 By bacterial infection from Staphylococcus aureus or group A beta-hemolytic
streptococci.
 In cases of cellulitis, overwhelmingly, direct trauma to the skin is the most
common mechanism, although hematogenous spread and
 associated bacteremia should be considered in neonates.
